“I think we found our tone,” creator David Goyertold reporters at the Winter Television Critics Association press tour. “We all feel much more comfortable with it. There are elements that are darker than last season.”

On Season 2, Goyer teased that the series will portray some new historical figures based on the success of the Vlad character from last season. It will also dramatize stories that said Da Vinci had traveled to Syria and The New World before history marks such events. Also, the season won’t unravel in a linear timeline.
